Fiscal Year 2026

NAV increased 8% to $4.51 per share, with a 12.7% GAAP return on equity and $70 million net income. Portfolio diversification expanded, infrastructure credit grew, and leverage remains above target but is being addressed through NAV growth and selective buybacks.

Fiscal Year 2025

NAV declined to $5.70 per share amid challenging CLO equity markets, but recurring cash flows and non-CLO credit investments grew. The board reset distributions, redeemed high-cost preferreds, and authorized a $100M buyback, aiming for NAV stability and long-term returns.
-
Deployed $200M into new CLO equity at a 16.9% yield, but recurring cash flows and NAV declined due to spread compression and excess distributions. Portfolio quality metrics remain strong, with proactive resets and refinancings planned for over 20% of assets in coming quarters.
-
Q2 2025 saw NAV rise 1.1% to $7.31 per share, with recurring cash flows of $85 million and a 6.3% total return on equity. Active portfolio management, resets, and new partnerships are expected to drive future earnings, despite ongoing spread compression and market volatility.
